It's 1858 and the Novara, an Austrian imperial ship which is circumnavigating the globe, arrives in Sydney Harbour for repairs.
Stepping off the Novara onto Australian soil is an artist called Joseph Selleny. In a matter of years he'll be in need of repair himself, suffering a tragic personal downfall.
A new exhibition has just opened at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. It's called 'Cartoons for Joseph Selleny'.
These are not cartoons as you would know them, but rather a throwback to an ancient way of drawing.Thu, 29 May 2014 13:17:00 +1000\xmlcontent\201405\4014568.xmlABC Radio SydneysydneymelbourneArts and Entertainment:All:AllArts and Entertainment:Art History:AllArts and Entertainment:Contemporary Art:AllArts and Entertainment:Visual Art:AllCommunity and Society:All:AllCommunity and Society:History:AllCommunity and Society:History:HistoriansCommunity and Society:Indigenous (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander):AboriginalCommunity and Society:Indigenous (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander):AllCommunity and Society:Indigenous (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander):Indigenous CultureCommunity and Society:Indigenous (Other Peoples):AllEducation:Subjects:Art and DesignEducation:Subjects:HistoryGovernment and Politics:All:AllAustralia:NSW:Sydney 2000Australia:VIC:Melbourne 3000-37.8099 144.9622Self-Improvement Wednesday - 22/5/13 - The Event that triggered a devastating warhttp://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2013/05/22/3765220.htm?source=rss

Australians love to read about their wars and battles, but there is much more to history that can inform us as citizens.
